SharkTums Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 The longest, tallest RMC Raptor, but running a single 8 person train is the most Fuji-Q thing I can possibly think of. It worries me how accurate this could be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 ^That's the old Fuji-Q. This moderately better one will have 2 8 person trains but will take one off the track at 1 PM to wind down ready for closing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I like to think that this coaster is funded not by park admission, not by food & bev, but the poncho sales at Okama/Beckoning Cat Raft Ride. spot the 2 cheap asses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I remember wanting to ride that raft ride. But then I started seeing drenched people coming off it. And then I got a fairly good look at the RAPIDS in the upper troughs just splashing over, with poor raft riders caught in the swells... and as I remember it, the queue was pretty long too, at the time. Then I posed for a photo - and noticed one number was missing from all of the numbers posted.... my lucky #33. Eep. So I passed on the Raft Ride. Looked awesome though. And mucho wet. *By the way, I think that New Large Coaster is a great name for it! Me and the space for #33. July 03/2013. TPR Japan Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 ^ After foolishly declining the poncho, I effectively scared a few TPR members out of the queue line when they saw how drenched I was. But it was well worth it since it was a really unique and terrifying rapids ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Fuji Q is also now closed until at least March 9th: https://www.fujiq.jp/en/news/h5f6de000001vct0.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garet Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Not sure when this happened because I haven't seen it elsewhere but Fuji-Q has it's own Toy Story Mania style ride based around the Naruto anime now? https://www.fujiq.jp/en/attraction/kagakuningudojo.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned it in my Trip Report. . I liked the design of the building, but was L.O.S.T. as I am not familiar with the anime, other than that some of the characters wear those metal head bands. So I just shot at everything. . LOL I wouldn't say it's anywhere near the level of ToyStory Mania, but it really does *want* to be that. It was interesting, but nothing I'd make a trip to the park for. (unlike Farm De Bang Bang !! at Nagashima SpaLand, which I LOVED). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert425 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 ^ Thanks, I have some older elementary students who would love to know a Naruto shooting ride exists when my school re-opens. it's not just the ride, it's a whole little area of the park with that theming (just FYI). there was a "museum" too. . which I didn't go in, since again - not familiar with the property.. .so can't tell you if it's good or not. As well as some themed food stands, and a store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garet Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Fuji is actually open despite all the other parks being closed. I can't work out if these running times for the rides when park hours are 9-5 are somehow corona related or just typical Fuji. And yes I'm back to being bored at home. After 2 days back at work, the school semester got delayed again and there was a case 500m from my house and the guy decided to ride the public bus home after his test, and he had no contact with known cases (although they're still trying to trace where he's been) so there's pandemonium in my town (in terms of moms sending the little kids back to the school I'm at) so it could be a very long haul. Korea had got the numbers down but I'm worried we are in for a second outbreak if these little cases keep popping up even in little towns like ours that can't be traced.

Canobie Coaster Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 ^ Since Do-dodonpa is only open 11:30 to 3 and Fuji-Q closes lines early, that pretty much means you only have between 11:30-1 to get in line for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 ^I was mostly joking about it being Fuji operations and giving them the benefit of the doubt it's shortages due to Corona but I also think what you say is true/even worse. Considering Eejenaika is 9-11 and 3:30-5:00 and Do-dodonpa and Takabisha fits perfectly in between that with 11:30- 3, I wouldn't be surprised if they are sharing a work crew so lines will be shut to fit around that schedule and give them time to close one ride/get over and open the others. I remember Eejenaka had a bigger crew due to having a left and right side loading, I wouldn't be surprised if once it closes the workers are split to the other two big coasters. A lot of those times seem to indicate pairing that way. That's pure speculation on my part, just the timings work for a lot of those rides.

Canobie Coaster Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 ^ I missed the Eejanaika one. Assuming they get a normal amount of crowds, that may mean you have like 5-10 minutes to get into Eejanaika's line before they close it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 With Japan declaring a state of emergency Fuji-Q is now closed again: https://www.fujiq.jp/en/news/h5f6de000001wxd1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 ^Their prefecture is not part of the big lock down, but I think 99% of their guests come from affected areas so I'm sure that's why they're closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 The park has reopened but only to local residents: As a measure against new type coronavirus infection, we limit the number of people who can enter the park to those living in Yamanashi, Nagano, Shizuoka, and Niigata prefectures. Please note that residents outside the applicable area cannot enter the park. When you come to the park, you will be required to wear a mask , fill out the admission confirmation form, and present your ID card . We will implement admission restrictions such as temperature measurement and hand disinfection. You can check the details here . In addition, we currently operate only outdoor attractions and some food and beverage / store facilities. You can check today's attractions operating status here . Source By the looks of the schedule they're running split shifts on rides again e.g. Eejenaika 10:00-11:00 and 14:45-17:00 with Takabisha and Do-Dodonpa in between at 11:45-14:00 or the Sky Roller running 13:30-15:00 with the Star Flyer running before and after.

KarlaKoaster Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 A new tourist attraction "Fujiyama - King of Coasters Tower" Planning to open Summer 2021 will be a new 55m observation tower tucked into the turnaround on Fujiyama. Initially it was designed to help with inspections of the coaster, but now the plan is also to make it into an attraction in itself affording views of the coaster and the clouds in the distance that are probably obscuring Mount Fuji. It will feature: Observatory "Fujiyama - King of Coasters Sky Deck Skywalk "Fujiyama - King of Coasters Walk" Tube slide "Fujiyama - King of Coasters slider" Images: Fuji-Q Full details and more photos here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
